NAME

       zforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files

SYNOPSIS

       zforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  zforce  command  forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice.
       This can be useful for files with names truncated after a file transfer.   On  systems  with  a  14  char
       limitation  on  file  names, the original name is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For example,
       12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left intact.
